Cuix This album is insanely good, and always refreshing. There's always more to hear in every song, and they're incredibly transportive. Favorite track: Cock Ver 10.

Josh Humble One of the most epic albums to have broadened my perspective back when it came out. The combination of Alarm Will Sound's superb skill and the orchestral scoring of Aphex Twin's insane compositions blew my mind. Favorite track: Cock Ver 10.

about

As the long-awaited follow-up to their acclaimed all-Steve Reich debut, Alarm Will Sound's Acoustica is the 22-piece new music band's take on the music of twisted techno master Aphex Twin.

Lauded by the New York Times as "the future of classical music," Alarm Will Sound deploys a cadre of ten arrangers to painstakingly recreate and rethink Aphex Twin's legendary electronic work for an all-acoustic ensemble. By using creative new transcription ideas, non-standard "classical music" instruments, and keeping all four drummers busy with Aphex Twin's unimaginably intricate beats, AWS realizes a sonic result that's unusual, unprecedented and otherwordly. The CD also features bonus remixes by the Berlin-based techno prodigy Dennis DeSantis.
